Error MessagesIntroduction

IntroductionIf an error condition occurs in the signal generator, it is reported to both the front panel display error queue and the SCPI (remote interface) error queue. These two queues are viewed and managed separately.

NOTE When there is an unviewed message in the front panel error queue, the ERR annunciator appears on the signal generator’s display.

Error MessagesError Message Format

Error Message FormatWhen accessing error messages through the front panel display error queue, the error numbers, messages and descriptions are displayed on an enumerated (“1 of N”) basis. When accessing error messages using the SCPI (remote interface) error queue, the error numbers and the <error_description> portions of the error query response are displayed on the host terminal.

In this guide, an explanation is generally included with each error to further clarify its meaning. The error messages in this guide are listed numerically. In cases where there are multiple listings for the same error number, the messages are in alphabetical order, excluding simple words like “the” and “it”.

Error messages appear in the lower-left corner of the display as they occur.

Error MessagesError Message Types

Error Message TypesEvents do not generate more than one type of error. For example, an event that generates a query error will not generate a device-specific, execution, or command error.

Query Errors (–499 to –400) indicate that the instrument’s output queue control has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, Chapter 6. Errors in this class set the query error bit (bit 2) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). These errors correspond to message exchange protocol errors described in IEEE 488.2, 6.5. In this case:

• Either an attempt is being made to read data from the output queue when no output is either present or pending, or

• data in the output queue has been lost.

Device Specific Errors (–399 to –300 and 201 to 810) indicate that a device operation did not properly complete, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used for self-test response errors. Errors in this class set the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1).

The <error_message> string for a positive error is not defined by SCPI. A positive error indicates that the instrument detected an error within the GPIB system, within the instrument’s firmware or hardware, during the transfer of block data, or during calibration.

Execution Errors (–299 to –200) indicate that an error has been detected by the instrument’s execution control block. Errors in this class set the execution error bit (bit 4) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). In this case:

• Either a <PROGRAM DATA> element following a header was evaluated by the device as outside of its legal input range or is otherwise inconsistent with the device’s capabilities, or

• a valid program message could not be properly executed due to some device condition.

Execution errors are reported after rounding and expression evaluation operations are completed. Rounding a numeric data element, for example, is not reported as an execution error.

Command Errors (–199 to –100) indicate that the instrument’s parser detected an IEEE 488.2 syntax error. Errors in this class set the command error bit (bit 5) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1). In this case:

• Either an IEEE 488.2 syntax error has been detected by the parser (a control-to-device message was received that is in violation of the IEEE 488.2 standard. Possible violations include a data element that violates device listening formats or whose type is unacceptable to the device.), or

• an unrecognized header was received. These include incorrect device-specific headers and incorrect or unimplemented IEEE 488.2 common commands.

-440 Query UNTERMINATED after indefinite response

A query was received in the same program message in which a query requesting an indefinite response was executed (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.7.5). -430 Query DEADLOCKED

A SCPI output queue has filled, preventing further SCPI command execution, and there is no more room left in the corresponding SCPI input queue to accept a query to read from the output queue. The system automatically discards output to correct the deadlock.

-420 Query UNTERMINATED A condition causing an UNTERMINATED query error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.2.2). For example, the device was addressed to talk and an incomplete program message was received.

-410 Query INTERRUPTED A condition causing an INTERRUPTED query error occurred (see IEEE 488.2, 6.3.2.7). For example, a query was followed by DAB or GET before a response was completely sent.

-400 Query Error

This is a generic query error for devices that cannot detect more specific errors. The code indicates only that a query error as defined in IEE 488.2, 11.5.1.1.7 and 6.3 has occurred. -350 Queue overflow

This is a specific code entered into the queue in lieu of the code that caused the error. This message indicates that there is no more room in the queue and an error occurred but was not recorded.

-330 Self-test failed; BBG{value}: {name}

A self-test executed on the baseband generator failed. Report this error to service office.

-330 Self-test failed; The loop back test failed because the digital module could not be set up.

To run a diagnostic loop back test, the instrument needs to communicate with and set up the module. This error is reported when the instrument cannot communicate with the module.
